Episode Synopsis

In this inaugural episode of The Beleaguered Staffers Podcast, host Keith Conrad is joined by former congressional staffers Laura Finch and Sean Magers to pull back the curtain on life behind the scenes in Congress. They discuss how they landed their jobs, the chaotic reality of working on the Hill, and the never-ending campaign mentality that defines congressional work. Along the way, they share surprising insights about state vs. federal politics, the role of C-SPAN, and how travel budgets impact a representative’s time in D.C. Hosted on Acast.
